`경찰 국가가' 되는 UK는, 유엔 경고한다

압박 Esc

보복 테러 법률은 경찰 국가, 국제 연합 independent 전문가로 급속하게 영국을 돌고 있다 경고하는 종교적인 윤곽을 그리는을 통해 이슬람교도를 표적으로 하는 것이 비생산적이었다는 것을 오늘과 추가하는.

Asma Jahangir, 신념 종교의 자유에 특별한 보고자는 새로운 정지와 수색 규칙을, 특히 염려해 `에게 영국 경찰 그들자신은 있는 활동을 위한 적당한 지상을' 보여주는 것을 해기 없이 개인을 멈추고 찾는 것을 경찰이에 허용한, 불필요하게 간주하는.

Such laws are widely believed to target the UK’s Muslim population and “undermine the human rights of all,” Ms. Jahangir said in a statement issued in London after wrapping up an 11-day visit to the country.

“A discriminatory application of stop-and-search powers and religious profiling may ultimately prove to be counterproductive,” she said, but added.

While she understood that States were obliged to adopt measures to thwart terrorism, Ms. Jahangir also noted that she has heard allegations of abuses of counter-terrorism laws, particularly of the provisions which criminalize the failure to disclose information about terrorist acts.

Home Office figures show that although more than 1100 people have arrested on the suspicion of terrorism, only 40 of them have ever been convicted of terrorism related offences.

Civil liberties groups told Ms. Jahangir that, given the media circus that attracts arrests carried out under terrorism legislation, terrorism legislation has blighted the lives of more than a thousand innocent individuals and their families.

Opposition politicians and rights groups also expressed concern to the Special Rapporteur about the mammoth DNA database that the government was building, which now includes genetic records of eight percent of all Britons.

During her visit to the UK, Ms. Jahangir met with Prime Minister Tony Blair, senior Government officials, politicians, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and academics, while she also toured a school, a prison and an immigration removal centre.
